Yeah no doubt she is attractive, until she putts! lol Reminds me of Shaq shooting free throws. And the "yellow fever" comment is more than on the outskirts, it's right down Main Street.

I think there was a little misunderstanding with my comments regarding the weight of LPGA players.

Yes....everyone likes eye candy but it is not what I was refering to

What I meant was more directed towards the fact that male (both PGA and Seniors) work hard

at being fit and very few are maybe a little flabby.

I would not consider Mickelson fat (maybe a couple of years back)

I would think that young women who walk who knows how many hundreds of miles

and make, who knows how many thousands of swings, would not have difficulty keeping their weight down.

I would think that they would want to exercise and increase their flexibility.

Watching Park and Zalla (?) at the recent LPGA major, neither one looked athletic, strong or

in any kind of physical shape (other than fat). Good golfers..yes

If you look at Suzanne Petterson (?), you see someone  that looks like she means business

Annika was also athletic and strong and not eye candy. Inkster  etc.

Wie fired Leadbetter and her new swing coach is her Father.  What a bad move on her part.

Wait, what? Is this real news or CNN news? Why would she switch to maybe her only option worse than Leadbetter?

Maybe the extra mass helps them hit the ball further.

This will not be pretty.

First of all, she's doing something that seems to be working better for her than before. Where does it say, that there is only one way to putt effectively? Take a look at video of Jack "N" putting style. He crouched! I doubt that any PGA teacher would teach that style, but I guess he did o.k. with it. What about Furyk?  Would his swing be recommended? No, because too many PGA teachers teach just one way regardless of what skills or needs their students require. Michelle Wie has had all of the putting "gurus" trying to improve her putting.None of that or them has worked, so what is wrong with what she's doing as long as she is comfortable with it?

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Excuse me if someone has already mentioned this but the technique was originally developed by golf pro Leo Diegel. He played in the 40's I believe. My dad had a set of Leo Diegel irons. It brings back memories.

Michelle\s got the sweetest pair of pig-tails this week. She looks so good.  Hey, i watched her putt twice and she drained both putts so it seems the putting stance is working out OK. I also see some very heavy asian girls, from various countries.  I rather think it is a good thing that the physical appearance of the ladies is taking second place to the performance on the course. Goes to show that any body shape can play this game, men and women.

If you rotate Michelle 90 degrees, she would be Dufnering.

    • A good option is to play the Par 3 courses. after playing an 18 -hole round. The Par 3 courses have 18 holes, we usually played only 9 holes after playing 36 holes on each of the trips we had. You may want to check out Grand National while you're in the middle of Alabama. I enjoyed Oxmoor Valley and Ross Bridge courses which are a short drive north.
    • In August, I am playing the World Am in Myrtle Beach. I do not know which courses yet, but should be a blast. Aside from that, those are the only golf trip plans, unless I play while on vacation in Destin in June.
    • Even on a perfect center hit I was receiving at most 1.48 smash factor. 10 days ago on the warming up for a round my Driver made a weird sound, I checked the bottom and it was cracked. Don't know for how long it was cracked but at least this time the crack was easy visible. Maybe it was already cracked before but with a more subtle crack?.. don't know. I'm waiting for TaylorMade to approve the warranty and send me a new head. I was using the Stealth Plus, I will take the opportunity and upgrade it to the Qi10 LS paying the difference.  On Sunday with my old Titleist 915 and softer balls I was reaching 1.5, even 1.51 on center hits. Test didn't went well. Only gained 2..3 miles, not worth pursuing. Figured out that with a ball and with a target, my path was way to in to out with this new idea, so in order to move the club in the correct path I needed to slow down to redirect the club on the downswing or aim more to the right, close the face a play a big hook.. not possible. I already play a big draw with Driver, more curvature is unplayable. Yesterday at home, with no ball messed around with a more neutral path, even swinging a little out to in. It felt a lot more in sync with the body. With a big in to out path it feels like my hands are working right, away from the body, when the body is working to rotate to the left. With the path to the left is was easier to apply force thru the hitting zone.  As always tested 10 swings with my current swing (A), and 10 with this little out to in path(B).  The difference was huge, like 12 miles faster with swing (B). I knew something wasn't right. The fact was that the PRGR was aligned more in line with the (B) path so it of course was giving higher speeds. I proceeded to align it with the (A) path and tested again 5 more swings each. Again (B) was faster but only by 5 miles. (Made a tiny experiment moving the PRGR to a more extreme in to out path and the swings register 25/30% slower for both swings, so it wasn't reading properly at that angle) Finally I moved the PRGR in the middle of both paths, and this time (B) won by 9 miles. Off course, this was without a ball and a target so.. I will be hitting the range tomorrow to see the real difference.

    • At Bent Tree, right? I'm surprised the greens were that slow. I played right around the corner at Northstar and their greens were normal speed. Slightly soft/receptive but not overly so and not slow or shaggy by any means.
